“I tip my hat to Eduardo, the drivers of the van who drove us to the different sites and also the the gentleman who drove the buggy over the sand dunes. Eduardo was prudent and careful. The buggy driver was equally prudent but also took us on an exhilarating roller coaster like ride. The tours and the food were excellent. Omar, at the Pisco tasting place, was entertaining.”

“They were 1h late with pick up because of traffic. Then I got English guide who talk to me privately about all history and places we saw when driving around or walking. It’s quik way so see around. If you wanna go inside the church etc then it’s not for you. We visit catacombs and love park . Church was too busy so we didn’t go inside.
